" Where's Winry!" Ed demanded, slamming his fists on the table.
"I'm sorry who?" She asked. Ed growled, and said it again. But in a higher manor.
" A girl. Blond hair, fifteen-years-old- eyes are the perfect color of- the killer of Roy Mustang!" Ed finally burst out. " Please can you tell us Ms…" Al looked at her tag. " Ms. Juliet Douglas!"
The one named Juliet Douglas flipped through a binder and barely lifted her head up.
" Ah, you must mean miss Rockbell," she said. " Yes, she is staying in a-" But the fuehrer had walked in, his eye patch still placed firmly.
" Ms. Douglas are you revealing military info.?" He asked. " But I am part of the military!" Ed shouted.
" No need to be rowdy. But some higher-ups are currently supervising the case on Colonel Mustang. No need to worry about it anymore. Would any of you like some tea?" He asked holding a pitcher and cups in his hand.
" We need to see her!" Ed yelled across the room. Douglas slowly looked up to the fuehrer. " Boys, can you please tell me how you found out this information?" King Bradely asked.
" That has nothing to do with this!" Ed shouted. " It does most certainly." He said back. " It was from Lieutenant Hawkeye! Now tell me where-" The fuehrer coughed and started to walk away.
" I thought so. Boys your new commanding officer is the one named General Ayden. I'm sure you will serve him well." He opened the door and closed it as he left.
" Dammit…"
-----In General Ayden's Office-----
He tapped the paper on his desk and set it down lightly. He thought about what he should do with the letter that Roy Wrote. What was inside that letter would reveal the true killer of Roy Mustang. Which was….Roy Mustang. He had to keep the thought of Winry being the true killer stay true. Even though it wasn't.
A flash of neon red light entered the room. It zapped and zwished as it started to fade away. Ayden jumped up by the sudden presence but realized who it was.
" What a pleasure to see you again," the voice said. Ayden drew back.
" Why, what a surprise!" Ayden said. " You know what we want," she said. He gulped and nodded his head slowly.
" Things are going well…" He tightened his collar. "Nothing bad going on I suppose."
" I hope so. We just came here to tell you that your deadline is coming. Don't be late. C'mon Gluttony, I suppose we could go get you something to eat." Gluttony clapped his hands in joy and then drooled on the carpet. (A/N: oh Gluttony, that's disgusting.)
Lust and Gluttony vanished as he panted heavily.
------- With Ed&Al-------
The two brothers walked into his office. "Sir," Ed said walking closer. General lifted his chin. "Why hello, I hear I'm your new commanding officer,"
" Whoop-de-flippin'-do." Ed complained. " What I'm here for is we want to work on the death of Colonel Mustang," Ayden grunted. "I'm sorry boys, but you're just going to have to take another-"
" Don't give me that crap again!" Ed yelled. Al put his hand on his shoulder but he wouldn't stop. "Just tell me where Winry Rockbell is!"
" Is it your decision?" Ayden said. "ungh…" Ayden grinned, " That's what I thought,"
" I see your very determined. Can you tell me why you would like to see her?"
" She was our friend. Or so we thought." Shouted. "Brother…" Al said.
General Ayden placed his hand on his chin and thought for moment.
" Alright then. Please wait here," General soon left to go retrieve Winry.
-5 minutes later-
" Ed Al!" Winry rushed in the door. Ed stood up firmly with a not-so-happy look on his face. Winry had tears of joy and ran into Ed's arms.
" I knew you would come and get me! I knew you would!" Winry cried. "Wha?" Ed said. No, he could not let his feelings get in the way. He had to tell Winry what she had done wrong.
" Winry." Ed said sternly, placing her down. Winry gleamed and listened carefully.
"What you have done is wrong," Al nodded in agreement. "what?" Winry asked confused.
" You know what I'm talking about!" He shouted. Winry stepped back, "What are you...?" "You killed Roy Mustang, you know you did!" Winry flinched.
" I d-did not! It's all a lie!" she said back. "I swear I didn't-"
"SCREW YOU!" Ed screamed pushing his way out the door. Al starred wide eyed and ran after Ed. Winry gaped, and felt completely lost. Ayden just stood in silence but soon went towards Winry.
"He's just a jerk," Winry turned to him. "What?" "Don't listen to him, he's just trying to make you feel bad,"
"W-why would he do that?" she shivered. " Because you killed the colonel of course."
" I SWEAR I DIDN'T!" She kneeled down to the floor. He patted her back, "don't worry I believe you. You can trust me,"
"Thank you…"
